Does this software work with the Cricut Explore? Can it make the Explore independent of the internet?

This software is really old.....it is before they had the Cricut Craft Room...they no longer update the Design Studio with newer designs. I do not know if it would work on Cricut Explore, however, the cricut site for the Explore does support cutting, designing etc. is a lot newer and can do more stuff than the Design Studio did. Now, there is also some software out there you may want to check into--Sure Cuts A Lot by Craft Edge. They have developed some new software that is compatible with the Cricut Explore. I do not know anymore about it other than that---check out their website and you can email them with questions as to what all it can do for you! Hope this answers your questions and adds some additional info for you!

I use the Boogie Board Rip and don't think it can be used as an alternative input for a PC. You can capture sketches and drawings, but not in "real time"...the Wacom gives you an immediate pen-based input on your PC or Mac.

Yes, you are able to use your cartridges with the Explore machine. Also, once you have linked your Imagine cartridges to your account in the Craft Room and the Print then Cut feature is available you will be able to use those.

No. There was a lawsuit a few years ago between provocraft and make the cut and sure cuts a lot. These software companies can no longer make their software to use with cricut. Try Silhouette cameo. It a great machine and you can use whatever software you like and don't need cartridges.

I did a down load of the free RC Desk Pilot and couldn't get it to do more than the basic. I also downloaded the trial version of Clearview (it is a lot better) and had no problem with it. I haven't tried any thing else.

I too have both Cricut machine and yes they work on sure cuts a lot 1and 2 only. Contact the craft edge they own SCAL programs. Let them know what you want to do and they can help u that way. I know that cricut provocraft will not allow the SCAL w/ cricut. Their email address is support@craftedge.com

As neat as i can tell, the cutter needs their proprietary software to work. I am able to port my work in from Correll draw but it doesn't come out exactly accurate from there.

I was very disappointed with this software and tossed it. I can't answer your question. I've wasted a lot of $$$ buying cheap and not so cheap software that promises great results but I ended up with poor quality results. I've been using Stitch ERA Universal, its been free to use online but that will stop in December, and one of their options is to buy a subscription for monthly use. If I need to scan anything, I use CorelDraw and import it into Stitch Era. I'm happy with the results and they've been professional quality. Good Luck!

Of course Tana. It works fine and smooth with all graphics software. I've used it with Photoshop, Illustrator, Gimp, and even Paintool SAI. I even use it instead of my mouse. Check some of my works using this Wacom Bamboo tablet at http://angelascanio.deviantart.com

I've only used it with the cricut cake, because all cartridges are compatible with both machines I don't see why you couldn't use it with the cricut expressions.

No. i just bought it for this reason and it doesnt work.. updated wacom drivers, removed small stylus, rebooted, etc. Nada.

I have no idea. I rarely use mine since one is limited to the designs on a cartridge. I have a regular Cricut I use all the time, The Imagine was not worth the money..

When I emailed NG, the person responded that their software works with the 60CSx. Just one week ago I first tried to download the maps into it and found that it can not be done. I emailed back a complaint and they indicated, as you did, that it only will transfer routes and waypoints. This screwed up my opportunity to use it on a vacation from which I just returned. So, I guess I'd better change my review so I don't give someone else the same misinformation.Sorry for any confusion. I was mislead by NG.

I have the older Cricut Expression and it doesn't work connecting it to my Mac. Very disappointing. My computer can't find the Cricut when I try to connect the two. All of the connectors fit, so technically the cable was the right one. I'm not sure why it'd didn't work in the end.

PCA. No, they only work with Wacom tablets....in fact this particular unit only works with the Intros 3 RC

Cricut just came out with an iPad app so maybe soon. Ask cricut and check youtube if you havnt already. I love my imagine.

You should be able to do that with the Sizzix Eclips plus the additional software you have to buy separately (unless you get a package that comes with it). I would suggest that you look into the Sillhouette Cameo though as I think that machine is geared even more toward what you want--it doesn't have the capabilty to use cartridges like the Eclips does, but it doesn't sound like you would use cartridges anyway--they have commercial artwork on them. It might depend on what file type your artwork is in; you'll want to check with the manufacturer to make sure the machine can do what you want it to do.
